A week after a Holiday, how long to catch up with work?
Funny it has taken me 3 days to clear backlog of work from a week away (yes I did emails while I was away) and just starting to get back to being only a week behind on my jobs. Not bad going, I think.

Substitutive punctuation for when you get those emails which you find upsetting.
Yes, Ze has a solution to those emails at work. I will never use punctuation again without thinking the true meaning I am sending.
Just imaging if your office or lounge was hooked up to the net like this one!
This website allows users to move a camera and turn lights on and off! This would drive me insane.

Clean Joke Alert!
I met a bloke down the pub the other day who vomited every time he told a joke.
"What the wrong with you?" I asked.
"Oh, it's just my gag reflex," he replied.
Boom! Boom! (in a Basil Brush voice)

Toilet Joke!
The other day I was walking up from the South Bay beach and needed to pay a visit to the public toilet.
One of the doors was locked. So I went into the other one, closed the door, dropped my trousers and sat down.
A voice came from the cubicle next to me: "Hello mate, how are you doing?"
Although I thought that it was a bit strange (though it was Hollbeck Toilets), I didn't want to be rude, so I replied, "Not too bad, thanks."
After a short pause, I heard the voice again. "So, what are you up to?"
Again I answered, somewhat reluctantly, "Just having a quick shit... How about yourself?"
The next thing I heard him say was, "Sorry, mate, I'll have to call you back. I've got some prat in the cubicle next to me answering everything I say."

The Michael Jackson death & memorial: in web numbers
The King of Pop's memorial spectacle in downtown Los Angeles yesterday was tipped to be one of the internet's biggest events to date, and the figures did not disappoint, but it wasn't enough to knock of Obama's January inauguration off the web traffic throne. Though the searches for Michael Jackson versus Obama did outstrip the president and most other Google searches to date http://www.blogger.com/>The> then please destroy the email and any copies of it.

Yep! Crug (dried meats) is now in the UK and you can get them from Morrisons, flaours include the every popular Beef and Spring Bok and Osterich!
Now you have an excuse for that sweet tooth!
Sweet-toothed Brits have one less excuse for taking their morning tea with several spoons of sugar. They and other Europeans are among the most sugar-sensitive people in the world, a new genetic analysis concludes.
The vast majority of people in the UK, France, Italy and Russia boast a tandem of genetic variations in a sugar-sensing gene that allows them to detect trace levels of sweetness.
Around the world, populations that live at northern latitudes carry these genetic variations at far higher frequencies than tropical-living peoples, says Dennis Drayna, a geneticist at the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders in Bethesda, Maryland.

Just prey that intel does not name its next computer chip Scarborough!
You know things are bad when something's value is predicated by its standing in the Google search rankings, but that's exactly what's happening down at the Cornish town of Penryn apparently consigned to oblivion by Intel's chip of the same name.
This is Cornwall explains: "A week ago, typing Penryn into the Google search engine...would have immediately brought up information about the Cornish town in the top position. But now Penryn is slipping down the ratings as hordes of computer users around the world click on to find out more information about the new range of Intel computer processors."
Oh dear. Kevin Pickup, big cheese down at i-webmarketing, "a Cornish company which helps firms optimise their search engine position", explained the possible apocalyptic implications of the cyber-relegation: "This is going to be a huge problem for Penryn businesses. Although the chip isn't even on the market yet, there's already a huge buzz. Web pages relating to the Intel Penryn are starting to displace local businesses in the search results.
"As people who search the internet rarely look past the first couple of pages of results, the Cornish websites will effectively disappear from search engines."
Of course, Intel will rename Penryn (the chip) in due course, but that could come too late for Penryn (the town). Pickup continued: "Even if they announce a new name, it will take up to a year for it to come off the placements. Businesses need to look at their keywords and maybe change a few things."
Intel has moved quickly to assure Penrynians that they will not be forced to shut up shop and move to a more Google-prominent location. The UK's Intel marketing manager Chris Hogg offered: "It's just a codename that we're using - we have no plans whatsoever to use it as a brand. Once we start using the official product name, people will quickly stop using the codename. Cornwall is one of my favourite holiday destinations and I think Penryn is a delightful town."

HOTEL or not HOTEL; that is the question!
Well what is the best way to categorize providers of accommodation?
This question is being asked due to the on going implementation of the new harmonisation standards and the effect these standards are having with regard to the word HOTEL.
Yes HOTEL, when is a HOTEL not a HOTEL?
According to Visit Britain and the AA when you are not listed as a HOTEL in their inspection scheme, you are then called an Accommodation Provider.
So the end result will undoubtedly be making thousands of establishments in the Accommodation Provider scheme with HOTEL in their name remove this name from the property, letterheads, websites etc...
Unless those affected write into the powers that be and put their argument forward!
So if your one of the ones affected and are unhappy write in and send a copy to your local trade bodies of which you are members and get them to put your objections forward in a further letter from the trade body.

Conservapedia
I love the net and its peculiarities especially things like this give me a real giggle!
Conservapedia was created to offer an alternative US outlook on the world, with American spelling. Result is many people have been encouraging and overstating the American view point in order to "knacker" the effectiveness of this site and add a bit of mischievous fun.
This makes for an entertaining pass time like looking for flying helicopters on Google earth, or BIG swear words.
Do check out their opinion of the UK, especially the religion section.
